It’s OK That I’m Not OK

WARNING: Minor spoilers for True Blood/the Southern Vampire series, Dollhouse, Lie to Me, and Law & Order: SVU ahead, plus vague descriptions of graphic violence. Last week saw the release of Dead and Gone, the highly-anticipated next novel in Charlaine Harris’s Southern Vampire series, on which HBO’s True Blood is based. My bookstore received a couple of advance copies, so …

“Lookin out for number one”

The first show I really enjoyed using the web was The OC, and I still have a special place in my heart for it. The people I know who love the show still find time to talk to me about the show and keep me grounded to the memories. One of those friends was here in LA this weekend, and …

When TV Helps Philantrophy

On Saturday afternoon, one of my friends and I made a sojourn to Santa Monica to take part in The Rescue, an event put on by Invisible Children, to help raise awareness of the longest war in Africa and its effects on many children. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have known anything about Invisible Children, but Veronica Mars and the …

I’ll Take L.A.

It’s no secret to anyone that knows me or has listened to our Nice Girls Radio broadcast, recently, that I hate to fly. For one thing, I do not possess the kind of body that can fit comfortably in those teeny, tiny, airplane seats. I’m a tall woman stuffed into a short woman’s body. Airplanes are so uncomfortable for me. …

Musings on Los Angeles, PaleyFest, and Nice Boys

Wow, what a week! I do so enjoy visiting Los Angeles and getting up close and personal with our favorite shows, but it’s nice to be home again. We’ll be reporting more from the PaleyFest panels later in the week (in case you missed the live reports on Twitter), so in the meantime here are some random thoughts on L.A., …

Thoughts on Paley Fest 09

This will be a look at random thoughts through my first three panels for this year. Since I’m eating, breathing and living in Hollywood for the next two weeks, it will have to do (also, I’m pretty sure PaleyFest is going to be responsible for my DVR filling up for no good reason.) I’d love it for all episodes aired …

Leavin’ On a Jet Plane…

Ah, airplane food. It may not taste that great, but at least it signifies that you’re going somewhere! As I type this, I’m on a Midwest flight bound for Los Angeles where the Nice Girls will be spending the week covering events at PaleyFest and working on some other goodies to share. Tonight we will be covering the True Blood …

Facing Reality with…Reality?

Life, lately, has been an adventure for me, to say the least. 2009 has already been filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, some good, some bad. But at the end of the day, I knew there was Booth and Brennan, Patrick Jayne, Sarah and John Connor, Echo and Co., and all the other Nice Girl’s faves to look …

What I Should Have Been Posting About

I should have had a post last week about my weekend filled with Supernatural convention or Sit Down, Shut Up, but then post-con depression took over (as well as a cold I’m still trying to kick nearly two months later) and I didn’t. Finally, I caught up with How I Met Your Mother and I didn’t post about any of …
